I agree with you regarding the babies. Give it some time and the baby would look real cute on my dinner table

I only see them every week or so at home, but where I work there are hundreds of them.... and it is part of a military firing range.... and you are not allowed to shoot them!!!!!! They are so plentiful I could hunt them with a hockey stick!

...on a military firing range? So they are well protected. There is no hunter there.

You're right - not worth the risk on a military firing range ;D

I'll have to get from the grocery store!

Eastern Spinbill.
These guys are tiny. They visit a grevillia in my backyard now a number of times a day along with Rainbow Lorikeets, Wattlebirds and Honey Eaters, it's a constant revolving door.
Cought this guy in the rain, with a fill flash to bring out the colours at min focal distance 1.4m of the 70-200F2.8is

Nice photos. Do you use flash to get that intense illumination, or was the sun working in your favor? I think I see a catchlight in the eyes...
